Tottenham Hotspur attacker started against Brighton.
Tottenham Hotspur winger Lucas Moura got the nod to start for the first time in the Premier League last night.
Lucas, a summer signing from Paris Saint-Germain, had previously only started FA Cup games.
He has impressed in his cameo appearances from the bench although did not really do too much to build on that in his first league start for the club.
He was substituted late in the second half with Spurs chasing a winner.
Lucas will be hoping his performance was enough to secure him a place in Tottenham’s starting line-up at Wembley this weekend when they take on Manchester United in the FA Cup.
Competition for places could leave him on the bench, with Spurs having a fully fit squad to choose from.
Against Brighton Lucas had two shots at goal, of which one was on target. He created one goalscoring chance, and completed 80 per cent of his passes.
